Abstract

In this demo proposal, we present a new system, called DISTRO (a.k.a. DIstributed STReam Outlier Detector), for detecting outliers from distributed data streams. DISTRO is able to effectively identify outliers from distributed data streams that are consistent with those generated by the centralized detection paradigm. DISTRO is also able to ensure high-level data privacy throughout the detection process. A number of optimization strategies are devised to further enhance its speed and communication performance. This proposal provides details on the motivation and technical challenges of detecting outliers from distributed data streams, presents an overview of DISTRO, and gives the plans for its system demonstration.
